Star Cool Integrated

By carefully balancing compressor and fan speed, StarConomy accurately matches air circulation to cooling demand, ensuring an ideal environment for the produce while saving energy.

Operating the fans at reduced speed once the cargo is at set point means less cooling is needed, as the motors generate far less heat while using significantly less energy compared to operation at full speed.

• The standard reefer outlet is rated and
  protected to 32 Amps

  16 Amps; that is the system max rating
• 2.5mm² (~14 AWG) cable is all that is required
• Two Star Cool units can run simultaneously on a single 32 Amp outlet

• Regardless of ambient, or set temp
• No special settings, changes or software
• Dual capability on standard reefer genset

• High Definition, large size LCD
• User friendly, intuitive
• Easy access to temperature
  development graphs
• Logical keypad design
• Critical information on home screen
• 9 lines of data on display

• This proven and reliable speed control of the compressor secures optimal match between energy consumption and cooling capacity putting cargo care as 1st priority
• Dual Compartment protects against water, moisture and dust – separated housing for print board and control/power connections
• Optimized design to protect against potential moisture, shock and extreme temperatures

• The proven and reliable high-quality compressor is the heart of the cooling circuit
• Variable speed, 600 – 3300 rpm (20-110Hz)

Factory charged with R134a, Star Cool R513A Optimized units allow for a switch of the refrigerant at any point in time without any change of software or hardware, offering a high level of flexibility and product security as future refrigerant regulations come into force.

Engineered for reliability, the Star Cool R513A Optimized units are designed for dual compatibility with R513A or R134a without compromising capacity or longevity.

An MCI purpose developed Smart Edge device including wide band 4G LTE with global coverage in a single device design, sharing battery with the reefer controller. The gateway connects the reefer container with the Sekstant Cloud and tailored OEM Sekstant user interface

Star Cool CA enables the careful monitoring and control of the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide inside a reefer.

This means that many fresh fruit, vegetables and ornamentals can be transported further and over a longer time period, yet still arrive in fresh and pristine condition, ready for the supermarket shelves.

The removal of the dual steel and aluminum frames connecting refrigeration unit and container has minimized thermal bridges, improving overall energy efficiency.

The integrated solution effectively reduces overall weight by 100 kg compared with an MCI Box with Star Cool Unit.

Weight reductions of up to 300 kg are seen when comparing to other box/unit combinations.

Reefer containers are undergoing extremely rough handling and tough impacts. This may result in damages, repair and lost time in service. The scuff plate reduces risk of damage related panel delamination as well as deformation and is resistant to scratch and scuff damage that is common on chassis use.

There are 20 fully automated robots spraying a uniformed layer of molten zinc metal onto all Corten steel areas. The superior effect of hot zinc metallization as corrosion protection is renowned and with automation, MCI ensures maximum efficiency and precision.

The raised base design provides greater space between ground and subfloor that can be prone to damage from rocks, twist locks etc that could otherwise penetrate the base panels.

This M&R cost reduction design is made with flat panels between the rugged structural load members which enables simple patch repair should a puncture occur.

The strong doors have been designed following analysis of repair statistics and field observations. They are internally reinforced to ensure life-long operation while providing the best thermal insulation. Door moldings and gaskets are free from rivets and exposed sealant for the best sealing and hygiene characteristics.

Using our unique hot melt application for foam adhesion ensures 5 times stronger adhesion as well as maximum flexibility. This protects the reefer against delamination, and should a small delamination occur, it will reduce spreading of the issue.

Furthermore, hot melt application produces no VOC’s (volatile organic compounds) and is therefore better for the environment than alternative foam bond coatings.

Reefer containers are undergoing extremely rough handling and tough impacts during cargo loading and handling operations. This may result in damages, repair and lost time in service.

The unique box features of the Star Cool reefer ensures higher impact resistance.

The T-floors design makes sure to facilitate air circulation required for maintaining cargo temperature while supporting the weight and loading operations of palletized and non-palletized cargo.
